MAGAZINE MAGNETIC TACK-HAMM ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 599,741, dated March 1, 1898.

I Application iiled J'uly 28, 1896. Serial No. 600,802. (No model.)

T0 all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, ARTHUR W. SAVAGE, of Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Magazine Magnetic Tack-Hammers; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact desoription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which yit appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference .marked thereon, which form part-of this speciication.

In the drawings, Figure l shows in side elevation my magazine magnetic tack-hammer.

Fig. 2 shows a top view of4 the same, a portion of the' handle being removed. Fig. l3 shows a longitudinal section of the hammer, some of the parts being broken out and removed. Fig. 4 shows the head of the hammer with certain adjacent portions taken on Fig. 5 shows the head of the hammer, magazine, and mechanism as seen from the handle side, the handle, magazine, and parts being shown in section. Fig. 6 shows a hammer-head and mechanism as seen from the opposite side, as shown in Fig. 7 shows the hammer-head and parts, the same as Fig. 4, after the mechansism has moved a tack from the magazine onto the face of the head. Fig. 8 shows details of the tack moving or feeding mechanism in perspective and removed from the other parts.

Fig. 9 shows a face view of the hammer-head, together with adjacent parts, and the mechanism in the extended position of placing a tack upon the face ofv the hammer. Fig. l0 shows the same as Fig.k 9 with the tack feeding or delivering mechanism partially returned to normal position. Fig. ll shows the same with tack-feeding mechanism entirely returned to normal position and the tack left on the face of the hammer.

Referring to the reference-gures in a more particular description of the device, l indicates the hammer-head, and 2 the handle.

The hammer-head is magnetized. The magav zine 3 consists of a slotted tube recessed into the under side of the handle and curved down to bring its delivery end 35- adjacent to the face of the hammer-head. yThe tube land provided'with a ngerpull 9.

tacks, while the body ofthe tack projects through the'slot 3b of the magazine and the points project, as shown in several of the figures. The tacks are placed in the maga zine at the end 3c and are prevented from spilling out by the spring 4, which stands in the endpf the magazine when not displaced in putting in the tacks. 'For assorting the is adapted to receive the heads only of the tacks and takingV them singly from the det livery end of the magazine and placing them on the face of the hammer-head there is provided a tack-mover or carrier-jaw 5, which is pivoted in the hammer-head at 6, the shank portion 5a of the jaw being received in a recess in the hammer-head. This jaw is operated by a connecting-rod 7, pivot'ed to the jaw at 8 The con-1 necting-rod 7 extends through the body of the handle and is bent down at its end to' bring itto the pivot S. The retracting-spring lO is located in thefhandle and acts against the end of the connecting-rod 7 to return the tackcarrier to its normal position after being operated. In the side of the tack-feeding jaw 5 adjacent to the end is provided a notch 5c, one shoulder of which, 5", is square to the plane of the jaw, While the other, 5d, is inclined, as shown. The jaw 5 is also provided with a lip or rib 5e, which runs on the curved4 lsupporting the jaw, while at the same time provision is made'for the head of the tack as it is brought onto the face ofthe hammer. The inner edge of the hammer-head is rounded to make provision forgthe operation of the tackTcarrying jaw and the ready movement of the tacks from the magazine onto the face of the hammer.

The operation of the hammer is substantially as follows: The tacks are fed into the magazine at'the end 3, the'spring 4 beingdisplaced while they are being forced into the magazine. The tacks slide along the tubular magazine and around the curved end until a tack takes' its position in the notch 5 in the jaw at the end of the magazine, as shown in Fig. ll. The operator then puts his nger The tack is transferred from the position at IOO the delivery end of the magazine to a position on the face of the hammer-head, where it is held by magnetism. When the pressure is relieved from the pull 9, the spring l() operates to retract the jaw 5, and as it does so the tack is shoved sidewise by the incline 5tI and brought into a position substantially central on the face of the hammer, as shown in Figs. 10 and 1l.

lVhile the jaw 5 is extended the tacks are held in the magazine by the side of the jaw, occupying a position at the end of the magazine. After the jaw has been retracted to its normal position the tack may be driven in the usual manner, the first blow sticking the tack. Then the jaw has returned to its normal positi0n,the tack from the magazine takes its position in the notch 5 ready for a repetition of the operation described. As the hammer can be held with the head down. s0 that the tacks will feed by gravity, I do not employ a magazine-feeding spring; but it is obvious that such a spring might be employed, if desired.

That l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination in a hammer of a magnetic head having a fixed driving face, a tackmagazine with its delivery end adjacent to the said driving-face and a tack-moving jaw opperating from a position at the side of the head and delivery end of the magazine to a position on the driving-face, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination in a hammer of a fixed magnetic head having a fixed driving-face, a tack-magazine and a tack-moving jaw operating across the delivery end of the magazine,

having a notch to receive a single tack from the magazine and deliver it on the drivingface, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination in a hammer of' a magnetic head having a fixed drivin g-face, atackmagazine having its delivery end adjacent to the fixed face, and a tack-mover operating from the end of the magazine to a position on the drivingfface, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination of ahammer-head havin ga fixed driving-face, a tack-magazine having its delivery end at the side of the said driving-face and a jaw adapted to move from a position at the side of the head back of the plane of the face to a position on the fixed driving-face, substantially as set forth. f

5. In a tack-hammer, amagnetic head having a fixed driving-face, a magazine having its delivery end adjacent to the driving-face, a tack separating, holding, and moving jaw pivoted in the head back of the face and located to continuously occupy a position to close the delivery end of the magazine and adapted to receive and transfer tacks from the magazine to the driving-face, substantially as set forth.

6. The combination in a tack-hammer of the magnetic head l, the handle 2, the magazine 3, the jaw 5 pivoted to the head adjacent to the face whereby the jaw is adapted to swing to a position back of the plane'of the face and means for operating the jaw, substantially as set forth.

In Witness whereof l have aiiixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
